Harold \"Scrappy\" Lambert (May 12, 1901 -- November 30, 1987, New Brunswick, New Jersey) was an American dance band vocalist who appeared on hundreds of recordings from the 1920s to the 1940s.
Ben Bernie (May 30, 1891 -- October 23, 1943), born Bernard Anzelevitz, was an American jazz violinist and radio personality, often introduced as The Old Maestro. He was noted for his showmanship and memorable bits of snappy dialogue.
\"I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover\" is a song from 1927, written by Mort Dixon with music by Harry M. Woods. Original hit recordings were made in 1927 by Nick Lucas (#2), Ben Bernie (#3), and Jean Goldkette (#10).
It was a hit for Art Mooney & His Orchestra in 1948 and was largely popularized by him. In modern times the song is perhaps most associated with Merrie Melodies cartoons, as it appeared in several of them. The Sons of Ben, the official supporters' group of Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union, have adopted the song as one of their chants, singing at every home match at the 20 minute, ten second mark, symbolic as the founding year of the Union.
